This looks like a nice-to-have on the first moment. But: It will not
work with LTSP, at least not without a lot of hassle or the manufacturer
handing out detailed information on how to upgrade the operating system.
As it seems, there is no PXE support integrated. The only operating
system to run on those devices is Windows CE, and it is not able to do X
protocol. If you could replace the flash by some kind of ARM etherboot
or PXE code, maybe you could make LTSP run on it (or most probably,
someone could do that - hey, it's a CPU, some RAM and a display
adapter :-). Without specific instructions how to update the OS against
something Opensource-ish, no way. Sorry.
